Properties Kenya – Rain, Sun, and Weather Issues

When
buying a home, it can be easy to overlook year-around weather issues. You may
think you are purchasing a home in a sunny area, but come to find there is
always a heavy cloud cover. This is just one of a number of weather issues to
consider when selecting your dream home.

Clouds…Rain…Floods

If
you must have a sun deck as part of your new home, you better make sure it is
going to be sunny! Just because a general geographic area has a lot of sun
doesn’t mean your home will. Things to look for include fog and heavy cloud
cover for a home in a valley. If the home is located on the side of a hill or
valley, make sure you know when it will get sun and shade. Temperatures can be
radically different depending upon the amount of sun you get.

When
it rains, it really pours! One potential nasty surprise for new homeowners can
be the condition of a neighborhood after it rains. In West Kenya e.g.
Budalangi, for instance, the total rainfall averages roughly heavy throughout
the year. Despite this high total, there are certain beach communities that
grind to a halt because of flooding issues. Even an inch of rain can flood
streets to the point that you can’t drive at all. Make sure you stop by a gas
station or local store to ask about flooding problems in the area.

I
have been known to enjoy a good boating trip and perhaps you have as well. I am
pretty sure neither of us would enjoy it in our house. Still, millions of
people a year buy homes in flood plains without even knowing it. Eventually,
this can lead to a disaster when heavy rains come and you find out the reason
they call it a flood plain.

Unlike
streets with bad drainage, floods are much more damaging. When a river
overflows, flood levels are typically measured in feet. Can you image the
effect on your home of a flood that reaches five feet in depth? Well, you
probably always wanted to renovate the first floor of your home.

Mother
Nature has a way of doing whatever she wants. Make sure you avoid her grumpy
spells by looking into the effect of weather on your prospective dream home.
